GPS

You ever see those people driving in the car with their GPS's? Or maybe looking dependently on their phone to get where they need to go? We roll our eyes...but really....aren't we all guilty of doing it? I know I am. I will be the first to admit it. I AM TOO DEPENDENT ON MY PHONE!

I am one of those people that second guesses myself. I know where a store is and I will STILL pull it up on the GPS just to confirm what I know and still follow the directions! (or at least have them there to refer too). Pathetic, I know. What could be worse?

I will tell you...when you think you know where the store is, you plug in the address on the GPS just to be sure, then ignore the recommended route because you really do KNOW where you're going. Now, when you are in the general area and you have been driving around awhile, you still can't seem to find that stupid little store! You become so flustered that you finally decide to refer back to the GPS just to find your phone is freezing up or processing REALLY sssslooooww. You become even more impatient and frustrated that you decide to pull into the nearest parking spot instead of continuing to drive around like a clueless DoOfus. You take a deep breath and start to cry and get really angry (partly because your PMSing and because it has been one of those weeks. You sit, wait, stare, tap at your phone. (Ya...because that will make it process it faster) Its still slow, its not working and your thinking, 'Crap! What do I do Now?!', 'How will find that store!?' .....

.....You sit in the car, you take a gaze at your surroundings and you look to your left BEYOND the tree that blocks your view and you realize.....for the Last 10 minutes or so you have been so dependent on that stupid phone and GPS you didn't notice that you actually parked your car right in FRONT of the store you were looking for!
Yep...that person was me.....its been one of those weeks...

Mother's Day

i know this is waaayyyy overdue, but at least im getting around to it, right?

My Mothers day this year was pretty uneventful, but yet still wonderful. My boys made me picture frames for my gift this year (with the help of my parents). They are adorable and add color to my boring white walled apartment. :) We put fun pictures of the boys in them and put them on a shelf. They are the last thing i see before i leave and the first thing i see when i come home. I love them!

Also, Ethan made me a card. Each year his cards get better and better. (I am sure that has to do with the fact that each year he gets better with his writing skills) He really had a lot to say this time....let me share it with you.....

"A happy mothers day is what you deserve. What a goodnes, I <3 you. If I had enfinidy dollers I would buy u 50 houses with purple walls. I hope u love me. It is special that you have me. If I had a Diamond I would buy you a firebird car Because I know it's your favret car and Because I love you I'd catch a grenad for you"

Isn't that the cutest thing ever?! Yes Ethan....I am very lucky to have you. You are special and I would catch a grenade for you too. I love you. i love all you boys! You make me smile, laugh and enjoy life. Thank you.

love,

Mom

PS- Mom.....Happy Mothers Day to you too! I love you with all my heart. You have been such a great example for me. You are someone I respect and look up to. You have given me so much. Thank you for always being there. I love you.
